The first actual announced price, translated from Euros for the EX1 is $8875.00USD list price.

Hope this is wrong and it is really lower in the US of A.

Cameras are always way more expensive in Europe than the USA. There's VAT etc. I've heard in France each county charges it's own taxes as well.

Farss, yes, true for some brands, but other have "world wide prices" like Canon - the A1 cost almost the same everywhere. Let's what the SE price will be.

BTW, these camcorders are directed to companies more than hobby, and companies does not pay VAT, in any EU country.

Any early posters, from Europe, find any GOOD information on US prices, yet?

You sure got that right. When I bought my PD170 here in Denmark, I had to pay aprox. $7k - we have 25% tax on everything and the nett price is higher itself too.

If it's 6500 Euros, then it will most likely be $6500 in the US.

You can't just do a currency conversion.

I REALLY doubt it will come under $10k AUD

12 to 13k more like it
